VOTING BY E-MAIL IN NJ

NJ Voters displaced by Sandy should be able to vote by e-mail.The procedure, as I understand it, is to contact your County Clerk by phone or e-mail, receive a ballot, and e-mail it back by 8 PM tonight.If the County Clerk does not respond in a timely fashion this procedure would be a sham.Hopefully, voting will go relatively smoothly and the election will not be decided again by one vote as it was in 2000. (The one vote being a swing vote on a 5-4 divided Supreme Court.)Here is some contact information for the County Clerks. Note that you may need to look up the e-mail address by going to the website of the county clerk. If links do not work on this copy of the info, go tohttp://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html#berclick on the website there for your County Clerk and find their e-mail address on the website contact information.Good Luck! This is an important election!
